URNTABLE MAINTENANCE
The LP12 is
designed for a long operational life.
To preserve the appearance and maintain the
performance of your deck, you should note the
following points:-
PLINTH. The plinth is constructed from solid kiln-dried
hardwood and should not therefore be subjected to
extremes of temperature or direct sunlight. Some
finishes will darken slightly with age. A damp cloth is
ideal for cleaning dust or stains from the plinth; polish,
particularly wax based, can be hard to remove from the
grooves.
PLATTER. The platter will darken with age, since the
alloy is slightly photo-sensitive. Resist the temptation to
repolish the rim, as this removes the protective lacquer
and results in a rapid degradation of the finish. Clean
only with a dry soft cloth.
MAT. The felt mat can be cleaned with masking tape.
If the mat becomes really dusty, you can beat it like a
carpet or rug. If you have a problem with static and the
mat clings to your records, you can use some double-
sided tape to secure it.
MOTOR. The motor pulley should be cleaned
periodically to remove deposits of rubber shed by the
belt. Remove the outer platter and belt, and gently apply
a damp cloth (impregnated with isopropyl alcohol or
meths if possible) against the rotating motor pulley until
clean.
STAINLESS STEEL TOP PLATE. This is best cleaned with
a damp cloth.
ARMBOARD. This can be cleaned with a light duster or
slightly damp tissue - make sure the stylus guard is in
place before you start.
